Sarah Palin

My friends…choosing a woman makes sense, but methinks the vetting process of Kay Bailey Hutchinson must have gone terribly wrong. It’s hard to attack Obama for being inexperienced when your own Veep has less than 2 years in a major political office.

Alaskan politics is about oil, and an Alaskan VP means drilling in ANWAR. All of the eggs are now in the “lower the price of gasoline” and “reduce dependency on foreign oil” baskets. Let it be remembered that Hillary Clinton tried this approach, and lost.

I’d like to think that Americans are more intelligent, and that their problems more substantial, than to vote on the promise of cheaper gas. And if not, I’m willing to forfeit this experiment in democracy for good.

She checks the boxes that he doesn’t: She’s not another old white guy, she can put up with the evangelical bullshit, she’s not part of the old Republican Guard, and she’s not too rich to be considered “wealthy”. Plus she is too green to have gotten her hands dirty yet. McCain is doing the same thing Obama did with his selection of Uncle Joe…bringing on a complementary running mate. On the surface, it looks like a great choice. That said, something about her reminds me of Dolores Umbridge, and that means I have to hate her.
